United Nation’s Global Compact
In 2002, Danfoss joined the UN’s Global Compact’s ten principles of good company ethics:
  1. We will support and respect the internationally declared human rights within our spheres of influence
  2. We will ensure we are not complicit in human rights abuses
  3. We aim to maintain employees’ rights to unionise and recognise employees’ right to collective bargaining
  4. We aim to actively fight all kinds of forced labour
  5. We aim to actively fight child labour
  6. We aim to eliminate discrimination in the workplace
  7. We will support a precautionary approach to environmental challenges
  8. We will undertake initiatives to promote greater environmental responsibility
  9. We will encourage the development and diffusion of environmentally friendly technologies
  10. We will work against corruption, including extortion and bribery  

Caring for Climate
"Caring for Climate" is a voluntary initiative for the members of Global Compact who wish to mark their leading roles in the climate debate. “Caring for Climate" has the support of more than 180 companies and its purpose is to foster the diffusion of technological solutions to climate problems and to influence the political process. ”Caring for Climate” imposes requirements on companies to establish targets and implement appropriate measures to improve the global climate. Targets and results must be communicated to UN and the public.

The Danish council for sustainable business development
Danfoss takes part in The Danish council for sustainable business development. In 2007, initiatives were taken to draw up a charter which – on the basis of 12 principles – places the members under an obligation to take concrete actions in a number of areas, such as the management of suppliers, diversity in the workplace and climate changes.  

The Danish government’s Panel of Climate Related Business Interests
Danfoss has been appointed to take part in the Danish government’s Panel of Climate Related Business Interests whose job it is to advise the Danish government in advance of the COP 15 climate summit in Copenhagen in December 2009.

Copenhagen Climate Solutions
Danfoss sponsors Copenhagen Climate Solutions. Through its participation, Danfoss wishes to influence the Danish business community to apply more CO2 neutral solutions and reduce the emission of greenhouse gases.

ProjectZero
Through the Bitten and Mads Clausen Foundation, Danfoss is involved in the ProjectZero Foundation which works to make Sønderborg – by 2029 – the first large sustainable and CO2 neutral area in Europe. The goal is set to be reached via energy-savings and a switch to state-of-the-art energy forms.
